Review of compact model PUPPYOO WP526

Model PUPPYOO WP526-C is designed for home dry cleaning, has a collapsible design. It works from a 220 V network, that is, it is suitable for any apartment where there is an electric outlet. What is the catch, where does such an inexpensive price come from?

Features of purchase and delivery

In fact, the Chinese company Pappio can be trusted: for almost 20 years of its existence, it has sold hundreds of thousands of vacuum cleaners, and the distribution range of goods extends far beyond the borders of China.

All products entering the Russian market have certificates of conformity, a guarantee and the ability to return / exchange defective or non-disposable product.

PUPPYOO vertical vacuum cleaner is no exception. The WP526 model has already been tested by users, evidence of this is thousands of reviews, including many positive ones

The device can be purchased on the website tmall.aliexpress.com, there having issued the delivery of goods. The fact is that Aliexpress is the official seller of the brand, and Pappio's equipment cannot be found in other stores. For many users, making purchases on the Internet is unusual: you can’t look at the item closer, touch it, check the functions.

However, the terms of sale are so attractive that many take the risk and buy an inexpensive device. If he is not happy with something, you can always return it to the seller.

Design features and equipment

Acquaintance with the device begins with the unpacking of the box - a large rectangular packaging in which delivery is made. The vacuum cleaner is supplied unassembled.

All parts are in separate bags and stacked so that they do not come into contact with each other during transportation

Each element of the vacuum cleaner must be carefully considered: there should be no chips and cracks on the plastic, and scratches on transparent and glossy parts.

So, in the package are:

• cyclone filter + block with a pen and power cord;
• main nozzle floor / carpet;
• additional nozzles for furniture;
• holder tube;
• spare filter;
• instruction (most likely without translation into Russian), certificates.

To check whether the vacuum cleaner is functioning, it is necessary to assemble it and plug it into the network - this way you can check the appearance and serviceability of the purchase.

For assembly, you just need to connect the main parts:

Parts connect easily and quickly. After assembly, you can immediately check how the vacuum cleaner works by plugging it into the network. If you already have experience using such models, then when the brush touches the floor it will immediately become clear how powerful the device is - the manufacturer does not indicate the suction power.

Model Specifications

A list of technical parameters can be found in the attached documentation. Immediately pleased with the low weight of the device in the assembly - together with the attached nozzles, it is 2.1 kg. Dimensions and weight are often decisive if the cleaning is more often done by a physically unprepared woman or teenager.

Specifications:

• type - household
• cleaning system - bagless, cycle. filter 0.6 l
• additional nozzles - there is
• power - 600 W
• weight - 2.1 kg
• cord - 4.5 m

The type of dust collector is a cyclone filter with a plastic container, which is already traditional for dry-type aggregates. Dust is sucked into a transparent flask, where, under the influence of centrifugal force, it is distributed along the walls, unable to return back to the pipe.

The volume of the dust collector is small - 0.6 l, however, dust removal several times during one cleaning usually does not cause difficulties.

The presence of a cylindrical tank with an opening bottom is very convenient for servicing a vacuum cleaner: when filling the tank, garbage can be disposed of in just a couple of seconds

Power is quite noticeable, especially when cleaning hard surfaces and low pile: dust simply disappears in the nozzle opening. For a long carpet pile, all types of brushes are useless, the maximum that they can do is to smooth the surface.

The cord is quite long - 4.5 m, that is, the radius of action when using an extension tube is at least 6 m.This means that the room can also be vacuumed from a corner outlet

The noise of the device is not indicated, but according to reviews, it works quite quietly - when the vacuum cleaner is on, you can freely talk.

Below is a video review - unpacking and initial inspection of the model:

As well as a video with testing, cleaning results and recommendations for care:

Pros and cons of the device

The compact vacuum cleaner has many positive aspects: lightweight, relatively quiet, does not require maintenance after each cleaning, like analogues with an aquafilter. If desired, the model can be disassembled and packaged in a box. All parts except the engine block are washed and cleaned.

Advantages of the model:

• very light weight in comparison with competitors;
• 2-in-1 simple prefabricated design;
• good power for dry cleaning;
• long power cord;
• replaceable filter.

The presence of two additional brushes is a big plus. Crevice work well on hard surfaces, and furniture - clean any textile items, from curtains to soft toys.

Components must be treated with care. It is difficult to buy a vacuum cleaner part separately from it, especially with such inexpensive models as WP526

A cheap device cannot be ideal, it also has shortcomings. Some are visible immediately, others make themselves felt in the process of regular use.

Weaknesses of the vacuum cleaner:

• fragile plastic parts;
• connections that become loose with time;
• inability to vacuum a thick and long pile;
• lack of battery;
• there is no device for winding the wire;
• small dust container.

But taking into account the cost, we can say that the disadvantages are not so significant. The main thing is that the vacuum cleaner fulfills its main function - it carefully collects dust.

What do PUPPYOO users think?

Buying a cheap model, not everyone believes in its performance; many consumers perceive the vacuum cleaner as a toy. Having seen the cleaning result, they understand that inexpensive equipment can be useful in the household.

Most buyers believe that the model is more than fulfilling its value: it cleans the floor and sofas qualitatively, carefully collects wool and earth sprinkled from flower pots.

Positive assessment of the collapsible design. Over time, parts become covered with dust, and individually they are very convenient to wash and dry.

However, some users have claims regarding both the material of manufacture and some technical parameters:

• after switching on, the device starts to smell like plastic;
• power is not regulated;
• carpets do not clean well;
• the engine is very hot.

There are many complaints about the suction power: during operation, the brush “sticks” to the laminate or linoleum so that it cannot be moved. And someone considers such power an advantage.
